scheduled payment date.  If RAYDON Corporation receives the invoice prior to such shipment or receipt of goods or services, the foregoing terms on this order shall be measured from date of such receipt of shipment of goods rather than date of receipt of invoice.

13.          EXTRA CHARGE

14.          SALES AND USE TAX EXEMPTION

It is hereby certified that the above described property is exempt form that sales and use tax, unless otherwise noted for the reason that such property is purchased for resale or will become an ingredient or component part of, or be incorporated into, or used or consumed in, a manufactured product produced for ultimate sale at retail.  If the property described in this order is purchased tax-exempt and subsequent use makes this property taxable, RAYDON Corporation will assess and pay tax to the appropriate state.

15.          RESERVATION OF RIGHTS

RAYDON Corporation expressly reserves all rights and remedies that are available to it at law or equity, including but not limited to rights and remedies set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code.

16.          ATTACHMENTS

Any attachments referenced on the front side of this order shall be deemed for all purposes to be an integral part of this order.  In the event of irreconcilable conflict between such referenced attachments and the terms stated herein, the terms of such attachments shall control.

17.          OVER SHIPMENTS

Seller is instructed to ship only the quantity(ies) specified in this order.  However, any deviation caused by conditions of loading, shipping, packing, or allowances in manufacturing processes may be accepted by RAYDON Corporation according to the over shipment allowance indicated on the face of this order.  If no allowance is shown, it shall be 0% (zero percent).  RAYDON Corporation reserves the right to return any over shipments in excess of the allowance at the Seller’s expense.

 

18.          PACKING AND SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS

Seller agrees to insure that shipments are properly packed and described in accordance with RAYDON Corporation specifications and/or applicable carrier regulations.  Shipments will be made at the lowest freight charges.  RAYDON Corporation may assist Seller by providing freight classifications or classify material.  Seller will not insure or declare value on shipments except on parcel post, unless RAYDON Corporation specifies otherwise.  On shipments where value is declared, Seller will ship prepaid insured for $50 to facilitate tracing.  When shipping via small parcel, Seller will ship freight collect if available, otherwise Seller will ship freight prepaid.  Seller shall consolidate air and surface shipments daily on one bill of lading per mode to avoid premium freight costs, unless instructed by RAYDON Corporation.  In case of any shipment that does not correspond to normal past practice between RAYDON Corporation and Seller, or to standard practice in the industry, (e.g., requires special handling equipment or air ride suspension, or air shipment over 500 pounds, over 120 inches long or wide or over 56 cubic feet, etc.) Seller agrees to notify RAYDON Corporation’s appropriate traffic department 72 hours prior to shipment for special shipping instructions.  All truck shipments must be classified by Seller using the current “National Motor Freight Classification Tariff.”  Each box, crate or carton will show RAYDON Corporation’s full street address (not just post office box numbers) and purchase order and item numbers regardless of how shipped.  On small parcel shipments, a packing list shall accompany each container and shall describe the contents of that container.  On other shipments, Seller will provide a packing list to accompany each shipment, referencing the appropriate purchase order and item number.  The bill of lading also will reference the purchase order and item number.  Seller is responsible for packing any shipment correctly based on the carrier/mode utilized.  Charges for packing and crating shall be deemed part of the purchase price, and no additional charges will be made therefore unless specifically requested by RAYDON Corporation on the purchase order.  Seller agrees to ship via the carrier specified by RAYDON Corporation.  Failure to ship via RAYDON Corporation specified carrier would subject Seller to misroute debit.

All premium freight costs incurred by RAYDON Corporation or Seller beyond that specified by RAYDON Corporation shall be borne by Seller.  Seller is responsible for all shipments that are damaged in transit due to improper packaging, improper judgment or any other act or omission of the Seller, shipper, or carrier.  On all F.O.B. origin shipments, except Parcel Post, Seller will ship freight collect.  (If small parcel carrier is unavailable, Seller will ship prepaid.)
Definition of terms (Whether F.O.B. origin or destination):

  1. “Freight collect”- Seller will ship freight collect- freight carrier will bill RAYDON Corporation.
  2. “Freight prepaid charge back”- Seller will ship freight prepaid and bill RAYDON Corporation.
  3. “Freight prepaid”- Seller will ship freight prepaid and bear all transportation costs.

19.          RETURNS

Defective material shall be returned freight collect to Seller.  Replacement material shall be sent freight prepaid from Seller, who will absorb the burden of premium transportation when defective or replacement material places critical time or delivery schedule constraints on RAYDON Corporation.

20.          INSPECTION- QUALITY SYSTEM

A.            The Seller agrees to permit RAYDON Corporation and RAYDON Corporation’s customers or Government representatives if this purchase order references a U.S. Government contract or subcontract number, to verify the quality of supplies or services being provided under this purchase order at any production stage in the Seller’s facility.  Verification may consist of a physical assessment/surveillance of the Seller’s facilities and quality programs and/or a source inspection.  The supplier shall positively correct deficiencies identified during such verification in the most expeditious manner possible.  The Seller shall provide all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safety and convenience of personnel engaged in such verification.  Seller agrees to include into each subcontractor Seller might make hereunder appropriate provisions to the same effect.

B.            Unless modified by the Purchase Order through the use of RAYDON Corporation’s P.O. clauses, Seller is required to ensure that the manufacturing processes used meets the technical requirements of the applicable drawings, specifications, engineering changes and added requirements of the purchase order no later than 10 days after subcontract award.  A copy of any quality system documentation or procedures must be forwarded to RAYDON no later than 10 days after acknowledgement and acceptance of the purchase order. An inspection system inherent to verifying the technical requirements must be maintained and objective evidence of such will be produced on request. If seller is ISO registered than the registration number must be submitted as well.
